I prefer to hear from those who live with CHF & Edema daily, like me. I ask cause I have NO RESPONSE to diuretics. They fail to produce a drop of urine. Since Nov.06 my feet,ankles,calves, thighs, knees, thighs are rigid & swollen w/water& it's not getting better. What I wish to ask from you is this: YOu who live with edema & CHF, did your swelling ever resolve &did your water weight gain normalize? Whether you entered hospital or not, used diuretics or ultrafiltration, please tell me if & how long it took for all pathological edema to resolve. I am despondent from my weakness, gasping, shortness of breath, and shakiness. With CHF & edema, are you ever able to walk and get out and in normally? Has anyone improved with digoxin? have you been able to keep your lungs clear of fluid? Can you live without constant hospital stays?
Please reply - if you have CHF & edema after MI.
Didd anyone ever improve with time or only worsen with each year???? I thank those who reply.
